You shouldn't win "KO of the year" by knocking out a shot fighter or a bum. I mean there were a TON of "omg!!!" ko's this year. Russell ko'ing that bum, wilder, some euro fight I can't think of. Point is, KO of the year not only should be an amazing KO, it should be against a top fighter or at least a contender.

Therefor, Donaire wins it, imo.

Roy Jones, though older, is still a very fast and tricky boxer. Lets not forget that before his KO loss to Lebedev, Jones lost a decision to Hopkins and even managed to win 3 or 4 rounds.

Proof that Jones is still very tricky, fast and can compete at the higher levels.

Next fight he was KTFO by Lebedev.

c'mon on man. Jones was KO'd by danny green round 1. Sure, he may have won 2-3 rounds on some judges scorecards against hopkins but he didn't do jack in that fight and it was probably more of what hopkins was doing, or his tactics, that won him a couple rounds, versus what jones was actually doing in the ring. The fact that hopkins didn't knock him out means little since hopkins hasn't scored a knock out since 1973.
